nearly over

 'I can't believe that the summer and civilisation are nearly over.' - new yorker cartoon, 19th august 2025.

here an internet outage

horsemouth is back with you. he was worried about two things;

1) the whole internet was down all over the world. (not quite the end of civilisation but certainly a drastic  rearrangement of it). 

2) only his connection to the internet was down and you would all have to go on social mediating without him. that you would be talking about him behind his back or worse not talking about him. 

er. what will horsemouth do today?

probably water the garden and go and get the bin from the bottom of the drive. no bell-ringing tonight (no lift).
